We have a capital tour set at 9:30am.

I'm with three kids 5,,8,11.

I am pretty sure the'll emerge from tour tired and hungry and want to be prepared for a spot to eat.

We might like a spot where we can be served vs managing a cafeteria or take out line...but not opposed...

Looking for ideas about where to head to for lunch

Here are some family friendly places, VERY close to the Capitol, where they serve you. All have good food.

http://www.leboncafedc.com/ But ONLY if you get there by 11:30 am. It's popular, quite small and has only a few tables.

If the above is too crowded when you go by, go around the corner to:

http://www.firehook.com/ at 215 Pennsylvania Ave. SE

or one more block to

http://www.wethepizza.com/ or
http://www.goodstuffeatery.com/

Also, if you think the crew can wait "just a bit", there are some nice, family friendly, sit-down places on 8th St between Pennsylvania and G st. SE (an easy walk from the Capitol or one Metro stop on the blue/orange line) that kids (and adults) LOVE.

There are also sit-down restaurants at Union Station. Eighth Street SE (Ted's Bulletin, etc.) is probably your best bet, but it is a few blocks from the Capitol.
